Ripple expands custody offering

Highlights

Ripple expanded Ripple Custody with new HSM-based security from Securosys and staking services via Figment for institutions.
The update follows the Chainalysis integration and Palisade acquisition, forming a more complete, compliant custody stack.
The move targets faster deployment and enterprise-grade control for banks and regulated crypto firms.

The expansion follows a series of recent developments around Ripple Custody, including the integration of Chainalysis compliance tools into custody workflows and the acquisition of wallet technology provider Palisade. Together, these steps are intended to deliver a more streamlined, end-to-end custody stack for large financial institutions.

Security enhancements introduce new HSM options

As part of the update, Ripple now supports CyberVault HSM and CloudHSM solutions from Securosys, enabling institutions to deploy hardware security module-based custody either on premises or in the cloud. The company said the approach is intended to avoid “traditional cost, complexity, or procurement delays,” while ensuring institutions retain “direct control over cryptographic keys.”

“Institutions require absolute confidence in how cryptographic keys are secured and managed,” said Robert Rogenmoser, CEO of Securosys. “By integrating our CyberVault HSM with Ripple Custody, institutions gain an out-of-the-box, enterprise-grade solution that can be deployed quickly, without added complexity, while retaining full control over their cryptographic keys.”

Ripple added that the expanded HSM support allows clients to meet varying regulatory and operational requirements while maintaining a high level of protection across jurisdictions.

Staking capabilities added via Figment partnership

Ripple has also partnered with Figment to introduce staking services for Proof-of-Stake networks such as Ethereum and Solana. Through the collaboration, custody clients can offer staking without building validator infrastructure, while preserving enterprise-grade governance and compliance controls.

“Ripple Custody’s partnership with Figment brings secure, institutional staking to the largest banks and enterprises,” said Ben Spiegelman, VP – Head of Partnerships & Corporate Development at Figment. “By combining Ripple’s enterprise-grade custody technology with Figment’s secure, non-custodial staking platform, we’re giving regulated institutions a way to offer staking rewards to their customers on several blockchain networks.”

Compliance and faster deployment remain central

The company noted that the new features build on earlier custody momentum, including embedding Chainalysis tools directly into “the custody execution flow,” enabling “real-time transaction screening and policy enforcement before assets move.”

“Institutions need cohesive systems in order to make the most of digital asset capabilities,” said Aaron Slettehaugh, SVP of Product at Ripple. “By bringing best-in-class security, compliance, and staking to Ripple Custody customers, we’re removing the friction of managing complex tech stacks and enabling our customers to go live faster and scale with confidence.”

Why this matters

Institutional custody remains a critical gateway for broader crypto adoption, as regulated firms require auditable security, compliance, and operational controls. Ripple’s integrated approach aims to shorten deployment timelines while meeting regulatory standards. The move underscores intensifying competition among crypto infrastructure providers to serve institutional markets.
